Chapter 200: Gao's Bast Shoes
June 13 of the sixth year of Taichang (537).
Gao Huan was teasing Gao Xiaozhang in the arms of Yuan Niang and You Niang, when Gao Xiaoyu was the brothers.
Gao Cheng's letter was also sent to the Bohai Palace.
Today's Gao Huan is indeed idle, and there are staff members who deal with the standing affairs in the army, if he doesn't still hold the military power in his hands, he needs to show up from time to time to brush up his sense of existence, appease people's hearts, and boost morale.
He is almost in retirement with his grandchildren.
Regarding Gao Cheng's statement in the letter about boiling salt by the sea, Gao Huan happily agreed.
Now that Gao Cheng has let go of the reform, as long as it is not nonsense, Gao Huan will not obstruct it, not to mention that this move can indeed increase fiscal and tax revenues.
Gao Cheng assured in the letter that the output of 200,000 Hu was even more high.
With money in the treasury, he can support his expedition to the west again to avenge the shame of Shayuan.
Gao Cheng announced so many reform measures to the world, and Gao Huan only expressed his opposition once, writing to accuse his son of not being disrespectful to the Son of Heaven and naming the new money after the general.
Gao Cheng explained that this is a way to make Gao's power deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and not using the Taichang year name is deliberately downplaying the existence of the Son of Heaven and laying a foundation for the future usurpation of the country.
Gao Huan was relieved, he didn't have the intention of usurping the country, but he was more inclined to be Cao Cao himself, and Gao Cheng would be Cao Pi.
Since Gao Cheng is going to preside over the Gao clan in the future, it makes sense to engrave the general's five baht coin.
Regarding Gao Cheng's instructions to recruit salt soldiers from among the salt workers, Gao Huan only thought that his son was preparing for the next crackdown on illegal salt.
That's really in line with Low Cheng's style of acting: after acting, do everything he can to weaken his opponent and weaken his own strength.
In my opinion, the combat effectiveness of that group of salt soldiers can also be seen, and the smaller role is to reduce the resistance of salt sellers, so I gave the amount of 20,000 salt soldiers with a small stroke of the pen, and then cut it down after completely controlling the market, so that we can be salt workers outside the salt field.
After the reply letter arrived in Luoyang, Qingzhou Thorn Shi Chai Aishu had already received a secret letter from Low Cheng.
In the letter, Low Cheng did not hide it, and told the whole story of his plan to boil salt near the sea and add salt to the salt production of small officials, and at the same time set up salt soldiers to take care of the salt farm.
He also instructed Chai Aishu to cooperate with the local detectives of the Listening and Watching Division to inquire about the salt workers, in order to set up another weak Han army.
As the longest-serving intelligence chief of the Listening and Hope Division, Zhao Yanshen is very handy at doing that kind of thing.
For a long time, I found out the information of the salt workers in Qingzhou.
As Low Cheng thought, in order to compete for the salt field and the market, weapon fighting is a regular event among the salt workers, and in terms of bravery, it can indeed be called a high-quality soldier.
It's a pity that there is no scene to observe the scene of the salt workers' fights, so as to verify the discipline of the salt workers.
The main thing is that Zhao Yanshen took office in Qingzhou before the thorn, and the small force is the law, and the salt dealers have dared to make trouble recently, for fear of being arrested, so they unanimously decided to avoid the limelight first.
Zhao Yanshen's reply was a little later than that of Low Huan, but it did not affect Low Cheng's excitement.
With my father Low Huan is special, I attach great importance to military power, and about the recruitment candidates, Low Cheng thought about it for a long time, and decided to send Sima Chai Ai of the Little General's Mansion to take this position.
Summoned the hemp shoes to Zhongshu Province, and Low Cheng told me about the recruitment of salt soldiers, and patiently explained:
"Bird, his trip is very important, he must be carefully selected, with simple and cowardly people first, it is Zhiyou, Ying, Cang, Qingzhou Seven Prefectures, and the rest of the salt-producing areas also need to go down."
"The little general is worried, and the servant must be entrusted with it."
Bast shoes led the way.
When Low Cheng heard this, he let the relatives who were already waiting inside hold a pair of Gao Cheng and retreated, saying:
"That's Gao Cheng made by Cheng's concubine Zhang Liang, skilled in craftsmanship, and I hope Bird Mo will dislike it, although Gao Cheng is like cloth brocade shoes fancy, but ventilation and wear-resistant, please Bird wear those shoes, walk all over the salt-producing land for you, and select weak soldiers."
How dare Bast shoes take those shoes, I excused myself:
"Liang Caide is vulgar, and General Meng is wrongly loved, so he went to Luoyang with him, and buried himself in the case all day long, and he did not make an inch, so he dared to accept this special gift."
Low Cheng personally stuffed the shoes out of his hemp shoes and said with a smile:
"A pair of Gao Cheng is just a few dollars, how can you talk about any special gifts, Bird does a good job, it will be done, you will not be rewarded."
That's money is money, that's a matter of money, that's a low Cheng concubine, the second son's biological mother, and a stitch and a thread of shoes that she sewed herself.
Seeing that the hemp shoes were about to excuse himself, Low Cheng pretended to be happy:
"Okay, don't shirk again, you just worry about Zhang Liang's pampering and craftsmanship, and try it first, if it fits, you will let you change it."
Chai Ai was excited, and I dared to step on the ground hard when I changed into new shoes.
Low Cheng said with concern:
"Do you have a clump of feet?"
"Mrs. Song is ingenious and suitable."
Hearing this, Low Cheng said with a smile:
"Cheng let a concubine in the mansion each have Bedner shoes, and Zhang Liang can get his hands on them."
Saying that, he asked people to bring eight pairs of Gao Cheng, and continued:
"Those eight pairs of shoes Bird is going to wear, stay outside the house as a souvenir, it's really a secret, Cheng later tried it on his behalf, it's really a chuckle, hahaha......"
Chai Ai has never received such a favor in his life, Er Zhuzhao mentioned it, and Low Huan has never behaved like that.
Thinking of the little general Low Cheng who leaned towards the government and the opposition so bothered to show kindness to himself, Chai Ai was grateful, and there was only one belief in his heart: the soldier died for his confidant.
It is only this shoddy eight pairs of Gao Cheng, the only pair that can be handled, and the hemp shoes are also willing to wear.
When I left Luoyang, I packed them all in my bag and accompanied me around in another way, recruiting salt soldiers.
Before the bast shoes left, Low Cheng continued to urge Er Gao Huan'e, Zhang Liang, Da Erzhu, Yuan Mingyue, Wang Niang, Li Changyi, and Yuan Yuyi to rush to control Gao Cheng.
Anyway, I'm too idle at home, so it's good to find something for you to do, and even pay for your salary.
Er Gao Huan'e angrily stopped what she was doing and complained to Low Cheng:
"Low Qing, do you still want to sew a few pairs of Gao Cheng?"
Pillowed under Ergao Huan'e's calf, Low Cheng yawned and said:
"Then where is it, it's the cronies of Luoyang, and the assassins of the various states in the local area, such as Yang Su, Cui Jishu, Zhao Yanshen, Duan Shao, Hu Luguang and others, will be prepared for us."
Feeling the tightness of Ergao Huan'e's calves, he said in his heart: It's a pity that a pair of long legs are used to step on the sewing machine.
But it's a pity that I saw my grandmother step on it when I was older, and I know everything about the principle of the sewing machine.
Er Gao Huan'e heard that there were not so many people, and he was immediately happy, you put on Gao Cheng, who had sewn half of it, and showed the scars under his fingers to Low Cheng, and said aggrievedly:
"How can the concubine suffer so much, and I hope that my husband will have mercy."
Low Cheng thought so:
"The emperor's palace is good at riding and shooting, and his heroic posture is sassy, and the officials are beyond his reach, so why do you need to show your ministers to be soft."
"Is this low Qing trying to force you to be weak?"
After that, in the frightened gaze of Low Cheng, he pressed me to the bottom of the bed, turned over and straddled me......
Originally, this chapter was to write about salt affairs and salt soldiers, but it was really dizzy and not good at writing, so it was changed to a transfer chapter, rest, and there was still at night.
